LECTURE OX TIIK llonsF..—lion. Zadouk
Pratt, the _cre.it American tanner of Prattsville,
reeentlv delivered an interesting lecture before
the American Institute on The If> rse. Purine
the course of the lecture, Col. Pratt entered
ininutelv into the habits and character of the
horse ; the proper method of managing him ;
the difference between the breed in different
countries and nations, and traced his history
from the earliest record down to the present
time. A good horse he declares as " about
fifteen ami a halt hands Inch ; the head light
and clean made ; wide between the nostrils,
and the nostrils themselves large, transparent
and open ; broad in the forehead ; eyes pro
minent, clear and sparkling ; ears small, and
neatlv set on ; neck rather short, and well set
up : large arm or shoulder, well thrown back
and high ; withers arched and high ; legs fine,
flat, thin and small-boned ; body round, anil
rather light, though sufficiently large to afford
substances when it is needed ; full chest, afford
ing ample play for the lungs ; back short, with
the hind quarters set on rather obliquely.—
Any one jiossessing a horse of this make and
appearance, and weighing 1,100 or 1,200
pounds may rest assured that they have a horse
of all work. * * * The history of the
horse can hardly be entered into without obtain
ing a general knowledge of the various epochs
in the history of the world, and in that point
of view alone it may be considered a matter of
no secondly importance. Though apparently
only a research into one branch of natural his
tory, it opens a lickl of examination into the
maimers and customs of different ages, and
exhibits the gradual but sure march of intellect
and intelligence from one generation to another.
In the management of the animal itself, a pro
found moral is exemplified for the culture and
progress of the human mind ; and like Alex
ander, he who has the judgment and natural
force of will to render subservient the noble
and untamed horse, has the power to wield no
mean influence upon the age and country in
which his lot is east.
Roue IN Fowi.s.—Of all the diseases that I
have had to contend with, I think the roup is
the worst. It is contagious. Of this I am
jierfectly satisfied, that if a fowl in a flock has
it, that all will take it, unless the diseased one
be removed. Itoup is somewhat like the dis
temper among dogs. My fowls arc affected
thus : Very difficult in breathing, gaping,
rattling in the throat, swelling of the head,
feverish, eyes swollen, with a thin, slimy matter
oozing from them, and it sometimes closes them
up, and blindness is the result. There is a dis
charge from the nose of a thick, foetid matter,
that is offensive to the smell. The fowl is dull
and inopy. and suffers much. If taken in time
it can be cured, but if suffered to run too long,
you better kill the fowl and put it out of misery,
oven if it costs s2O. Aly remedy is as fol
lows :
Take the fowl and put it in a warm place f
wash the head and throat with warm rain water
and eastile soap ; then take spirits of turpentine
and laid, mix well, and rub this mixtureoll the
head and throat thoroughly once a day, and
be particular to clean the nostrils well. I have
found this remedy to be the best I have ever
tried, and I have tried all that are in the
different poultry books without doing any good.
Cor. Ohio Cultivator.
To OI.KAX GILT FRAMES. — Take one drachm
(about as much as will lay <>n a shilling) of
soft soap, and mix it gradually with half a pint
of soft water ; (that is. rain water, or water
that has lniiled and been allowed to get cold)
put the mixtnrc into a bottle, and shake them
well together ; and add half a wine-glassful
of spirits of hartshorn, and again well shake
the ingredients. The gilt frame that is to be
cleansed may now be"brushed over with this
liquid, taking care, however, to nsc for the
purpose the very softest canuTs-hair brush that
can be procured. After the liquid has been
on the frame a minute or so, using a slight
brushing to the dirtiest and most intricate parts
of the work, it is to be freely washed off' with
plenty of clean soft water, and allowed to dry
of its own accord. The drying should be
accelerated by placing the frame in a draught,
or whore the sun shines on it. Next day the
bright parts of the work may be very slightly
rubbed with a new wash leather,which enhances
their brilliancy. Pictures and glasses should
be taken out of the frame during the cleansing
process.
RAISING CAI.VES. — Some inquiries being made
as to raising calves, I give you my experience.
I let them sack until they are two months old
—haltcr-break them when one week old, and
let them have as much milk as they will take
twice a day until they are about four weeks
old ; then begiu to wean them off by first
milking one teat, and at the end of one week
milking two teats, and so on until at last I
give them but one teat once a day. As soon
as I begin to wean them off, I commence feed
ing them with a few slices of carrots or some
other vegetable, and induce them to lick a
little corn meal, increasing the quantity as I
deprive them of the milk. They will need the
green vegetable no longer after they can pro
cure grass. I always provide them with a
small whisp of hay as long as 1 keep them up.
To snceccd well, and raise a fine animal, they
should have from half to a pint of meal once
a day, until they arc turned out to grass at
one year old. Thev should also be carded once
a day at least during the time of stabling.—
Cor. Albany Cultivator.
SALT AND ROOTS FOR MILCH COWS. — In
Stephen's Farmer's (J aide, it is stated that it
is probably owing to the large amount of
common salt in Mangel Wurzel and Turnips,
that cows fed exclusively upon them, fall off in
milk, an effect likely to be aggravated by the
additional use of common salt. Will your
Philadelphia!! correspondent, who suggests the
use of the latter, as a remedy for the unpleas
ant taste imparted to milk and butter, by
turnips, have the kindness to inform us, whether
lie feeds exclusively 011 turnips, and whether he
finds the quantity of miik affected by them.—

should be plowed as early in spring as practi

them in lumps, and thus render them unkind

IYER'S PUIS.
A ND CHERRY PECTORAL—The fol
1L lowing remedies are offered to the public as the best,
most perfect, which medical science can afford. A YKB'S
CATHARTIC PILLS have been prepared with the utmost
skill which the medical profession of this age possesses,
and their effects show they have virtues which surpass
any combination of medicines hitherto known. Other pre
parations do more or les good : but this cures such dan
gerous complaints, so quick and so surely, as to prove an
elticacv and a power to uproot disease beyond any tiling
whirhmeh have known liefore. By removing the obstruc
tions of the internal organs and stimulating them into
healthy action, they renovate the fountains of life and
vigor—health courses anew through the body, and the
sick man is well again. They are adapted to disease, and
disease onlv. for when taken by one in health they pro
duce but little effect. This is the perfection of medicine.
It is antagonistic to disease, and no more. Tender chil
dren mav take them with impunity. If they are sick they
will cure them, if they are well they will do them no
harm.
(live them to some patient who has been prostrated with
bilious complaint: see his lient-up, tottering form straight
en with strength again ; see his long-lost appetite return ;
see his clammy features blossom into health, (live them
to some sufferer whose foul blood has burst out in scrofula
till his skin is covered with sorts ; who stands, or sits, or
lies in angnish. He has been drenched inside and out with
excry every potion which ingenuity could suggest, (live
him these Pills, and mark the effect; see the scabs fall
from liis body ; see the new, fair skin that has grown un
der them ; see the late leper that is clean, (live them to
him whose angry hnmors have planted rheumatism in his
joints and bones": move hint, und he screeches with pain ;
he too lias lieen soaked through every muscle of his body
with linamcnts and salves ; give him these Pills to purify
his blood ; tliey may not cure him, for olas! there cases
which no mortal power can reach ; but mark, lie walks
with crutches now. and now he walkes alone : they have
cured him. (live them to the lean, sour,haggard dyspep
tic, whose gnawing stomach has long ago eaten every
smile from his face and every muscle from his body. See
his appetite return, and with it his health ; see the new
man. See her that was radiant with health and loveliness
blasted and too early withering away : want of exercise,
or mental angui-h, or some lurking disease has deranged
th'c internal organs of digestion, assimilation, or secretion,
till they do they do their office ill. Her blood is vitiated,
her health is gone, (live her these Pills to stimulate the
vital principle into renewed vigor, to cast out the obstruc
tions, and infuse a new vitality into the blood. Now look
again—tlie roses blossom on her cheek, and where sorrow
sat, joy bursts from every feature. See the sweet infant
| wasted with worms. Its' wan, sickly features tell you
without disguise, and painfully distinct, that tliey areeat
j ing its life away. Its pinrhed-up nose and ears, and re<t

Through a trial of many years and through every nation
of civilized me, IYER'S ( 'IIKKKY PECTORAL lias been fonud
i to afford more relief and to cure more cases of pulmonary
| disease than any other remedy known to mankind. Cases
of apparently -i ttied Consumption have been cured by it.
and thousands of sufferers who were deemed beyond the
reach of human aid have been restored to their friends and
usefulness, to sound health and the enjoyments ot life, by
this all-powerful antidote to diseases of the lungs and
! throat. Here a cold had settled on the lungs. The dry.
i backing cough, the glassy eye, and the pale, thin features

! is gnawing at his vitals, and -hows its fatal symptoms
i inorc and more over all his fame. He is taking the Cher-
I ry Pectoral now : it has stopped his cough and mail.) his
■ breathing easy : his sleep is sound at night: his appetite
! returns, and with it his strength. The dart which pierced
| his side is broken. Scarcely any neigliliorhooil ran be
i found which has not some living trophy like this to shad

-1 toral an iui|ieruhable renown. Influenzal, Croup," Bron
chitis, Hoarseness, Pleurisy, Whooping Cough, and all ir
ritations of the throat and lungs are easily cured by the
Cherry Pectoral if taken in season. Every family should
have it by them, and they will find it an'idvaluable pro
tection from the insidious prowler which carries oil the
parent sheep from many a flock, the darling lamb from
many a home.

DR. HAIiSEYS' FOREST WINE.—The
discovery of the FOREST WINE i- the greatest hles-
I sing of the age. I'ut up in Quart Untiles, a single bottle
j of which does nmre good, and goes further in the cure of
Disease, than tan bottles of any Karsaparilla in use, and
warranted to cure without an unpleasant or weakening
e fleet.
The method by which all Sarssaparillas, and other simi
lar medicines are prepared, is by boiling the Roots of plants
to obtain the extracts. Their medicinal virtues are thus
principally evaporated and destroyed.
It is not to be wondered at then, that 10 and even 20
bottles of these Sarsaparilias are sometimes taken without ;
any jierceptihle benefit. Not so with the Forest Wine.— !
By tiie invention of a wonderful chemical apparatus, a per- !
feet wine is produced without 1 teating; retaining, at the
same time, ail the primitive healing properties of the rare
medicinal plants ot which it is composed, thus rendering
the Forest Wine the most efficient medicine the world ever i
produced, at the same time time the most agreeable.
TESTIMONY.
This is to certify, that I have used Dr. Halsey's Forest
Wine in my family with the most entire success. My wife
was badly afflicted with Neuralgia, affections of the Spine
and Kidneys, and general Debility. She found speedy re
lief, and regained her health by the use of the Forest
Wine.
Front my own knowledge of this excellent medicine, I
confidently recommend it for the good of others who may
be suffering from similar complaints. It is the liest medi
cine with which I am acquainted, and those who are afflic
ted with the above, or any similar disease, may safely re
lv on its virtues. E. <l. MUSSEY.
MORE TESTIMONY FROM COHOES.
DR. G. W. HALSKY—Dear Sir : My wife last autumn was
reduced to a low state of Debility. My family physician
advised her to take your Forest Wine. Accordingly I
went to Mr. Terry's, your agent in this town, and procur
ed a Isittle of it, which restored her in a very short time
to perfect health.
Cohoes, April 13. ISAO. HENRY DONALDSON.
DREADFUL COUGH. DEBILITY, AND LOSS OF
APPETITE.
DR. HAI.SKY: Hempstead, Dee. 1,1847.
A lottle of your Forest Wine and box of Pills, which
I procured of .lames Carr, (your agent for this place,) has !
done wonders for me. I had been in a state of decline for I
more than ai year, afflicted with a dreadful cough, pain j
in the breast, general debility, and loss of appetite. I le- <
came almost a skeleton, and had been unable to leave mv
room for more than two months; my friends told me I
had t{ic Consumption and despaired "of my reeove.iv. 1
could not obtain any permanent relief from any medicine
I had taken, or niv physician, until your Wine and Pills
were procured. The first dose of the Pills brought up from
uiy stomach, much phleni and greenish matter, and niv
stools were perfectly black. 1 then commenced taking
your Forest Wine three times a day, my appetite liegau to
return immediately, my cough left nte, and in less than
two weeks I was almost well. I now enjoy better health
than I ever did before, having increased t\v eiity-tive pounds
tn seven weeks. Your Forest Wine and Pills are highly
valued in this vicinity, and I owe my recovery entirely to
their virtues. * Yours, respectfully,
MARTIN CALDWELL.
AFFECTIONS OF THE KIDNEYS.
Mr. T. J. Gillies, a highly respectable Merchant of No.
308 Broadway, New York, cured of a severe affection of
the Kidneys bv the Forest Wine and Pills.
Dr. G. W. JIALSEY : New-York, March 12,1833.
Dear Sir—ln the summer and fall of last year 1 had a
severe complaint of the Kidneys, which rendered me quite
unfit for business, i procured' your Forest Wine and Pills
which cured me in a few weeks time, and I have since en
joyed better health than I had for many vears previous! v.
From their efficacy in my o.wn ease, and from what I know
your medicines to have done for others, I am induced to
recommend them as the best itiodicines with which I am
acquainted. Yours, respectfully,
T. J GILLIES.
